Streaming service Netflix has confirmed an order for two seasons of the animated series "Twilight: Midnight Sun." The project is based on the 2020 novel of the same name by Stephenie Meyer and is a retelling of the first installment of the famous "Twilight" saga from a completely new angle. As reported by WAVE, this time the love story of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen will be told not through the eyes of the main protagonist, but from the perspective of the mysterious vampire. ### A vampire's inside look The novel "Midnight Sun" was a kind of companion to the first book in the saga: it follows the plot familiar to readers but conveys it from the first-person perspective of Edward Cullen. While the original story followed Bella's feelings and experiences, the new adaptation shifts the focus to the vampire's inner world — his thoughts, doubts, and emotions at the moment he meets the girl. According to What's on Netflix, the studio has high expectations for the project, and Stephenie Meyer herself and her team are actively involved in the production process alongside Netflix. ### Who is behind the project Sinead Daly is responsible for the script and overall development of the series, known for her work on "Tell Me Lies" and "The Walking Dead: World Beyond." Her involvement, along with the direct participation of the original author, highlights Netflix's intention to build the adaptation as a thoughtful, rather than formal, continuation of the "Twilight" universe. ### Animation instead of live-action It is important that the new adaptation will not repeat the format of the original film franchise starring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart: "Midnight Sun" is announced as an adult animated series, not a live-action film. Despite the confirmation of two seasons, Netflix has not yet announced a premiere date or revealed the official voice cast. Whether fans will hear the voices of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in the new version of the story remains unknown. For "Twilight" fans, the upcoming project will be the first opportunity to return to the story of Bella and Edward, told from the vampire's own perspective. Thus, Netflix offers the audience a familiar at first glance, but actually new entry point into one of the most recognizable romantic franchises of the 2000s. ## Fact-Check & Sources - [Netflix снимет два сезона "Сумерек" от имени Эдварда Каллена](https://wave.rbc.ua/ukr/culture/netflix-znime-dva-sezoni-sutinkiv-vid-imeni-1794482527.html) - Primary source: confirmed order of two seasons of the animated series Midnight Sun, involvement of Stephenie Meyer and Sinead Daly, no premiere date or cast announcement. ## FAQ ### What is 'Twilight: Midnight Sun'?
